• LF005-014 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, utilising a natural rise or terrace on a W-facing slope, overlooking an expanse of flat, damp pasture that extends to the W from the base of the slope. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1994 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 26m) enclosed on its E half by a low rounded bank of earth and stone and on the W half by a bank topping a scarp. Remnants of an entrance were evident at E. An inspection in 2012 found that the enclosing bank has been levelled. The rath survives as an oval raised area (c. 26m E–W; c. 15-18m N–S) defined from SE-NE by a broadly sloping scarp (H c. 1.7m at W; Wth slope c. 7m), which merges seamlessly with the natural contours of the rise. From ENE–ESE the interior of the rath is now flush with the external ground level and the dividing line between the two is marked only by a slight difference in grass growth. The W half of the interior slopes down gently to the W and there is no clearly defined break of slope with the scarp. The surface appears to have been scarped of topsoil and graded off. The N slope of the rath was truncated by the construction of a vernacular cottage and stone shed, now derelict. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 9 January 2013
